I have a very old toilet, which has been fine. But in recent times it has been seemingly filling for a few seconds then stopping. It's now doing it very minute. Stop start.
I guess the only solution is to call a plumber out, but given that my water bills have jumped £30 a month, I'm guessing I need a short term fix till then.
First question is how to simply isolate the water to the toilet. I could then do bucket flushes. Yet there seems to be no isolation valve. See pictures. Is this the only solution to shut off the cold water to the fault and then just turn it on when needed. A pain, but a temporary solution. Or is there a mysterious isolation valve in their somewhere ?
Oh, and I've tried turning it off and on again, just to pre-empt the smart Alecs.
